Being in Florida for many decades, and dozens and dozens of hurricanes, the "leave before others..." has not always been possible for me for numerous reasons. However, whenever you leave, still leave IMO. A couple of times I swear I could see the storm in my rearview mirror (IRMA)
of course there is no gas, food or hotels available, but at that last minute there is actually very little traffic and no police, and if you break down for any reason you are completely on your own and you must be prepared.
